I rode in a track day on my Ninja 250 in late September, 2007. I enjoyed it so much that I resolved to finally enter the puny-horsepower world of vintage racing. I purchased this bike to be my race bike, although it'll spend the winter in street clothes so I can work out as many issues as possible before turning it into a race bike.
